We studied the degradation mechanism of silicon dioxide under an electric field using first-principles calculations. First, we determined that the distance between oxygen vacancies primarily plays the role of electronic interaction of electron trap levels and that a critical distance of 12 Å, exists. At this critical distance, the leakage conduction mechanism is varied from insulator (hopping) to metallic. Second, we examined the stability of oxygen vacancies under an applied field. We determined that the oxygen vacancy pair within 7 Å is more stable than the one which is further apart when it becomes positively charged under a high field.
